[Lyrics]

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm travelin' on far and wide
But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do it isn't me but someone else

I close my eyes and think of home, another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is you never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my dying day

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain so easily
When you can't find the words to say it's hard to make it through another day
And it just makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

'Wasted Years' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Somewhere In Time'',released in 1986.

'Wasted Years' was the first single from the album, and is one of Maiden's most accessible and mainstream-sounding songs. It is probably about as close as they can get to the mainstream and still retain their unique Maiden sound. There is a long and very melodic chorus by Maiden standards, and an excellent instrumental and guitar solos.

It seems to be some sort of an admonition to appreciate the present and not take things for granted. It could also be a reflection on the World Slavery Tour, that really burned out the musicians of Iron Maiden to the point that a split of the band was feared at the time. It's obvious, though, that all that time was certainly not wasted, and that those were indeed Maiden's "Golden Years". (Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)

'Somewhere in Time' is the sixth studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 29 September 1986 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the US (it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002).
The album also marked a change for Iron Maiden, as it was their first album to introduce synth, although this style was expanded upon in their next album, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.(Source:Wikipedia)
